"I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he?"~ A Little Princess

This morning I had a beautiful breakfast with a friend, we sat and talked for hours, consuming multiple cups of tea and chai lattes. It's been a while since I've had a catch up with her, so it was nice to just sit and be with her for a while. It's amazing how old friends just fall back into place and pick up from the moment we left off. We don't see each other nearly as much as we'd like as jobs and life in general gets in the way.

I've had some time to sit and read. I usually have a combination of
books on the go at any one time, I try to make sure there is a bit of
variety in what I'm reading and usually have a novel and a
business/improvement book going together. My current business book is Work Smarter: Live Better
by Cyril Peupion, which Matt gave me for Christmas last year. I've only
just managed to start it, but I'm definitely enjoying it so far!

After breakfast I took myself to the shops for a little stroll. I
didn't have anything in particular I needed, but I'm a sucker for a bit
of window shopping. While I was there I picked up this fabulous water bottle from Kikki K. The gold detail in it fits perfectly with the other gold things I have on my desk, so it found a new home very easily!

I also popped in to the ABC shop to get the new season of Downton Abbey! I don't watch this (or any) show on TV as they are released as I'm never home when things air so I always wait until the season is released on DVD to binge watch every episode in one sitting! This little gem is out waiting by my TV so I'm not tempted to put it on until the weekend!

Over all, it's been such a fabulous Tuesday I almost want to take the rest of it off too! Alas, work is calling!

Today we've got the most beautiful sunshine. It's such a nice change from the cold weather we've been hit with since winter began. Winter sun is the best, everything glows, the flowers in our backyard lift their heads and warmth spills over you when you find a sunny patch to rest in!

We spent the day at our friend's place to celebrate the first birthday of her adorable son. We ate delicious food, met some lovely new people and had fun with the kids.

Now we're back home and I plan to spend the rest of the afternoon in a sunny corner with a cup of tea and a book. No work for me today.
